* Added -Wextra and -Wshorten-64-to-32 and fixed resulting errors.
* Disable -Wshorten-32-to-64 since Kokoro is missing Clang.
* Fixed -Wextra warnings for gcc.
* Reordered UPB_UNUSED() to come after declarations.
* Added another -pedantic fix and log CC version.
* Fix compile error and conditionally run use_bazel.sh.
* Moved set -e after use_bazel.sh.
* Fixed typo in conditional.
- A new PHP-specific upb amalgamation. It contains everything related to upb_msg, but leaves out all of the old handlers-related interfaces and encoders/decoders.
# Schema/Defs Changes
- Changed `upb_fielddef_msgsubdef()` and `upb_fielddef_enumsubdef()` to return `NULL` instead of assert-failing if the field is not a message or enum.
- Added `upb_msgdef_iswrapper()`, to test whether this is a wrapper well-known type.
# Decoder
- Decoder bugfix: when we parse a submessage inside a oneof, we need to clear out any previous data, so we don't misinterpret it as a pointer to an existing submessage.
# JSON Decoder
- Allowed well-known types at the top level to have their special processing.
- Fixed a bug that could occur when parsing nested empty lists/objects, eg `[[]]`.
- Made the "ignore unknown" option also be permissive about unknown enumerators by setting them to 0.
# JSON Encoder
- Allowed well-known types at the top level to have their special processing.
- Removed all spaces after `:` and `,` characters, to match the old encoder and pass goldenfile tests.
# Message / Reflection
- Changed `upb_msg_hasoneof()` -> `upb_msg_whichoneof()`. The new function returns the `upb_fielddef*` of whichever oneof is set.
- Implemented `upb_msg_clearfield()` and added/implemented `upb_msg_clear()`.
- Added `upb_msg_discardunknown()`. Part of me thinks this should go in a util library instead of core reflection since it is a recursive algorithm.
# Compiler
- Always emit descriptors as an array instead of as a string, to avoid exceeding maximum string lengths. If this becomes a speed issue later we can go back to two separate paths.
* Created amalgamation with upb_msg but no handlers.
* Bugfix for upb_array_resize().
* Renamed "lite" amalgamation to "core", to avoid confusion.
Traditionally "lite" has meant "without reflection", but here we
mean it as "without handlers-based code."
* Build fixes from CI tests.
* Removed some more C++-style comments.
* Fix for out-of-order statements.
* WIP.
* Passes most tests.
* A few fixes.
* A few optimizations.
* Some more optimiation.
* Update Protobuf to v3.11.4 and Abseil to LTS 2020-02-25
* Use longjmp instead of explicit error checks at every level.
* Used macros for better documentation of ops.
* Fixed bug with map parsing. All tests are passing except a few conformance tests.
* Fixed remaining bugs, all conformance tests pass.
Also ported all of upb to a single UPB_PTR_AT() macro instead of
having multiple .c files define their own.
* Formatted with clang-format.
* Fixes to compile on Linux.
* A few more compile fixes.
* Script to benchmark changes.
* Fixed parenthesis bug in op calculation.
* Updated generated descriptor files.
* WIP.
* Removed trailing enum to fix the Linux build.
* Respect packed=false to fix conformance failures in new protobuf version.
* Small simplification.
* Fixes to decoder.
* Removed stray comment.

New code is smaller (in both source size and compiled size) and faster.
# Speed
The decoder speeds up on all machines I tested, though the amount of speedup varies. I was only able to test Intel CPUs.

# Size
A few source files grow marginally because of some arena functionality moved inline. But `upb/decode.c` shrinks by 30% on Linux:

* Removed reflection and other extraneous things from the core library.
* Added missing files and ran buildifier.
* New CMakeLists.txt.
* Made table its own cc_library() for internal usage.
upb_msg was trying to be general enough that it could either live in
an arena or be allocated with malloc()/free(). This was too much
complexity for too little benefit. We should commit to just saying
that upb_msg is arena-only.
I also ripped out the code to glue upb_msg to the existing
handlers-based encoder/decoder. upb_msg has its own, small, simple
encoder/decoder. I'm trying to whittle down upb_msg to a small
and simple core.
I updated the Lua extension for these changes. Lua needs some more
work to properly create arenas per message. For now I just created
a single global arena.
Also includes an implementation of the conformance tests
to display what the API usage will be like.
There is still a lot to do, and things that are broken (oneofs,
repeated fields, etc), but it's a good start.
This involves:
- remove upb_msglayout -> upb_msgfactory dependency.
- remove upb_msglayout -> upb_msgdef dependency (in progress).
- make upb_msglayout use a representation that can be
statically initialized by generated code.
The goal here is that upb_msglayout becomes a kind of "descriptor
lite": it contains enough data to parser and serialize protobufs
and manipulate a upb_msg in memory, while being far smaller and
simpler than a full descriptor. It also does not include field
names, which can be a benefit for applications that do not want
to leak field names.
Generated code can then create a upb_msglayout, and do most things
without ever needing to construct full descriptors/defs if they
don't want to.
